That response is even sadder. I haven't chosen the "just code" koolaid, but your religious beliefs are so deeply ingrained that you can only perceive me through that lens. As a result, you miss out on the great big world of "every situation is different and you should do what is appropriate instead of what some dipshit hawking books and seminars says".

Actually, both of my previous comments made mention in passing of situations where I though a method wouldn't work. You say "every situation is different and you should do what is appropriate" but make no mention at all of which method is appropriate for which situation.

Books and seminars, we got these, but good agile is done by adding in some open source software tools, a whiteboard, pens and cards, and people with enthusiasm and an open mind. The last one is most important.

If we're still talking about the original post, then absolutely it's a belief system. Not a very well thought through one, though.
